[Scan-DC] Ramsey passive air-band monitor?

[Dewey3]

Hi Andrew...

Opinion only.  Reminds me of the old (1960's and 1970's) Radio Shack
solderless project boxes where **everything**, battery, wires, diodes,
resistors, crystal, and tuner were connected by trapping the stripped ends
in the springs that were pressed into the project board... but now come
full circle and completely assembled with HIGH dollar price tag.  (My
favorite one just happened to be the aircraft receiver).  Only "problem" is
when the flight deck says "turn off all electronic devices", they are not
going to get into the semantics of oscillators when they tell you to TURN
IT OFF.

Just an opinion,
Dewey
